I don’t claim that this is an especially original design, as I’m sure people have been making blankets in this style for a long time, but this version has been “designed” to meet the requirements of Wool-Aid, which requires blankets to be a minimum of 40 x 40 inches, that they be in a relatively dense fabric for maximum warmth, and that the items be made with worsted-weight yarn (or heavier) that is at least 80% wool or other animal fiber.

This is an excellent stash-buster pattern -- it is great in many colored stripes.
